Today we're sharing two new tutorials with our October Tiffany's Style Kit.

The first is a step by step mixed media beach layout by Tracey Sabella, and the second is a quick tutorial by Tiffany, showing how she added color to the Prima Paintables that were in the Creativity Add On for October.

Tracey used our October Tiffany's Style kit to create this gorgeous layout, as well as the Floral, Elements, and Creativity add ons, and the Stampendous Spoonful of Rust from our Oct. SOD Creativity add on. Here's her tutorial, followed by a few close up photos:

And our second video for today is for this beautiful project:

Tiffany used the Prima Paintables (8x10) and the Prima Watercolor Pencils that were in our October Tiffany's Style Creativity Add On, and she did a process video showing how she colored the elements on the Paintables Print. Here's her video:

Thanks for stopping by today, and I hope you have a safe and fun Halloween!

Tomorrow's the big day, and if you're a last minute kind of person like me, we've got the perfect tutorial for you!

Tanya SonataJoy created a fun and spooky Halloween Card and Treat Bag set with our Oct. Danse Macabré kit, and she's done a Youtube video tutorial showing her step-by-step process:

Here are a few close ups - don't you just love the way her bat wings turned out? The stamp was included in our October Creativity add on, and I just love the effect when they're stamped onto a transparency!

Thanks so much for stopping by today, I hope you enjoyed Tanya's tutorial!~Melinda

We've included lots of BoBunny's gorgeous Enchanted Harvest in this one, as well as Blue Fern Studios chipboard, Prima watercolor resist tags, Tim Holtz distress ink, Petaloo sunflowers, Hemptique Hemp Cord, and more. Get those leaf raking and Thanksgiving photos out, because our November kit is perfect for all your Fall memories... It's named after our wonderful educator, Amy Prior, and we still have a few available, you can find it in the Kits section of our store.

We've also got some gorgeous "Add Ons" to go along with this kit, in case you need more Fall goodness in your stash:

Patterned Paper (this is just an extra set of the same papers you will find in the main kit):

Coordinating Paper (2 each of 5 different papers that are NOT in the main kit, but that will work beautifully with the papers and elements in the main kit):

It is really windy here - I had to go out and take down most of my Halloween decorations because of the crazy strong wind! I did not feel like chasing my tombstones down the road!

First up is Kathy with this fangtastic Halloween layout!

She started with the border paper from Carta Bella included in one of the
Paper Add Ons and fussy cut around the inside of the border, so she
could mount it on the background paper that I've chosen which is from
G45 "Rare Oddities" from the Main Kit. She inked around
both the inside and outside of the papers so they would stand out. She stamped in various places on the background for some
grunge effects. her next step was to layer mats for her photo. She used black Stickles in
various places on her dress to jazz it up a bit.

We got some real cool embossing powder from Stampendous called Embossing
Tinsel in "Vintage Olive" which she used on the circle chain chipboard
from her stash that she cut into 2 pieces so that I could use it
in separate places.

She fussy cut around a little flower spray that was in one of the Paper
Add Ons and put some tulle behind it.

There are 3 little tags peeking out on the left side of the lo, which
came from last year's kit. The little raven is from a last
year's Halloween kit, which she just used black gesso on. She also used
some black and orange twine to make a little bow that sits behind the
flower cluster.

In the top flower cluster she used black pearl cotton for the little bow and another gorgeous Petaloo flower from her stash.

Next I have a beautiful OTP from Lynne using theOctober Scraps Of Elegance kit

After painting the edges of the piece she covered each letter with
patterned paper from the beautiful Prima Royal Menagerie collection from
the kit then sanded the
edges before inking them. The base was also covered with
coordinating paper.

She added tulle to the base behind the word to showcase the
paper butterflies which were attached to pearl sprays. The dragonfly
and shells are Prima resin pieces which were dry brushed with acrylic
paint; the shells were included in this month's SOE kit and the
dragonfly was from a previous kit. Some ribbon roses and pearls
completed the project.

She used a mixed of both collections, her main papers focus on the
Kaisercraft collection and she has bits of the Prima torn and applied
beneath the photo area and distressed and layered in the background.

The mixed media parts of her project utilize Lindys mist - she lightly
misted, used some splatters and also a paintbrush with water to start her
first layer, then added some Distress Ink with the Prima stencil "Decor"...stamping over that with the Prima stamp "Royal Menagerie clear stamps 2". These are found in our Elements Add On ------ HERE

More splatters were added with gesso and her favorite gold Lumiere paint.

These florals are from both the Scraps of Elegance Kit and Scraps of Darkness Kits for October.

The background is mixed media with the portrait drawn
over it. In our kits we received Lindys Mists in "Go Greased Lightnin, Sidewalk Chalk and Jazzy Jivin Purple" she used Dina Wakley stencils in the background from past Scraps of Darkness Kits as well as some acrylic paints.
